Mirror
04:12

|
There is no halo,
no mysterious glow around me,
no revelation in my words.
I do not deal
in promises and superstitions,
affairs that only make things worsе.
You can sense my soothing touch
if you see my flaws as such,
shattered just to be rebuilt again.
I cannot heal you, fulfill you,
make you whole again.
I cannot mend you, defend you,
take away your pain.
But I can be your mirror,
show you things
you never meant to reveal
and in your eyes
in my reflection
I can face my fears.
Once the fool now you're the magician,
a man of pride, I man with a mission
captured in an endless masquerade.
Can we break the pattern, can we walk away?
Can we let our shadows float away?
Nothing's yours and nothing's mine,
someone's messing with our time,
time is lost but we are found again.
You cannot heal me, fulfill me
make me whole again.
You cannot mend me, defend me
steal away my pain.
But you can be my mirror,
show me things
I never meant to reveal
and in my eyes
in your reflection
you can face your fears.

Down by the river, down, down, down.
Down by the river, down.
Down with my reason, down with my clothes,
down where the weary willow grows,
down with my sorrow, down with my pain,
down to the river with no name.
Down by the river, down, down, down.
Down by the river, down.
Down with the sunrays, down with the leaves,
down where the weary willow grieves,
down with my malice, down with my grace,
down to the river with no face.

Cotton & Stitches
03:21
|

Aren't we all made of cotton and stitches?
Aren't we put together from different pieces?
Eyes - bowls full of broken glass,
hearts carved from the bark of a tree
that used to be a vessel.
Isn't your sleek tongue sculpted from clay?
Aren't your words only getting in the way?
A skilled sailor like yourself
surely knows to tie the ropes
and hold direction
in a sea of isolation.
Aren't my cold hands cobwebs and feathers?
Isn't my kiss the drought of a desert?
Isolated sweethearts
in a bed that feels like
a tiny island floating
in a sea of isolation.

The Copper God
03:42
|
|||
|
First it was Jesus,
then the Buddha, then Ganesh
fell down from my shelf,
china figurines.
And then you fell, the copper god,
rolled with a dong on the hardwood floor,
just like you used to roll under my sheets before.
Stoned, dethroned, I'm on my own
The copper god, the copper god,
ring with a ding with a dong
The copper god, the copper god,
ring with a ding with a dong, dong, dong
The copper god
You're humble like an eremite
but when you preach, your chants resound
in all my hollows, in the crowds, the buildings
once vacant are now filled with your omnipresence,
they've run out of space, you're out of place,
you fall from grace
Stoned, dethroned, you're on your own

I've been skinning my heart to the bone
to keep it thin
I've been starving my senses
just so that I may fit it
Weighing my words and letters
Mind over matter
still
Ever alert and
hungry and unfulfilled
Shrinking into disappearance
You'll hear "Test your strength and perseverance
Don't let them make you blue
Stay beautiful stay true"
She's been holding her animal spirit
on a leash
She's been blaming herself for
every selfish wish
Moving to make way
So that he may stay
near
Smaller and ghostly
till you dissolve in fear
Shrinking into disappearance
You'll hear "Test your strength and perseverance
Don't let them make you blue
Stay beautiful stay true"

Kryptonite
05:44
|
|||
|
Lover,
did you create the night for me,
so I can dance eternally?
Hey, lover,
did you forget to light up the stars tonight
and then leave me all alone in the dark?
Don't pretend to know it all,
'cause you've got questions only I hold the key for.
Don't play almighty,
thank God you're no hero! -
and you know my kryptonite
is being alone in the night.

Analogue Girl

Analogue girl in a digital world
Jet planes, lasers, robots,
welcome to the future,
everyone's encapsulated,
riding fast, have you filled up with gas?
Analogue girl in a digital world (so lonely)
This machine is a living entity,
choking, suffocating,
a mechanical cold embrace,
you cannot hack your way back.
Analogue girl in a digital world (all armed up)
Got your mask on, your silver costume,
your ammunitions are your eyes
your human touch can bend the concrete,
you've got the tools to break the rules.
Lo-fi mofo, I'm a lo-fi mofo
Lo-fi mofo in a digital world

Closer
04:46
|

|
I can reach enough
I can play it tough
While I stumble across the track
I can touch your face
in a million ways
and I ache when you touch me back
Closer
than my projection
Closer
than all the curves and lines you're falling in between
Closer
don't get closer
closer
get closer than the sunrise on my skin
In a shade I stand
giggle and pretend
while I'm watching you watch your back
Oh, you move in space
with oblivious grace
but I can't get a taste of that
Closer
than my perception
Closer
than all the lines and curves you're tangled in between
Closer
get closer
closer
Don't get closer than the sunset on my skin
Closure
give me closure
I need closure
so I can move without
so I can move within

Lullaby
02:24
|
|||
|
You know she is weary, she is old
Other worlds are scary, she's been told.
Never dared to dream outside the room,
then the colours faded all too soon.
Can you see the moonpath in the night?
Can you hear the sandman - на ни на?
В моите ръце се отпусни,
в мен са всички нощи и луни.
Гледаш ме и питаш: "Кой си ти?",
слушай ме и затвори очи.
Нека ти попея, на ни на,
да те полюлея, на ни на.
На ни на.
